Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”

Me: *doing something for hours on end without stopping*

Someone: Hey, are you there? I was just wondering if you’d like to-

Can't believe Tumblr jumped to a paid subscription service before making a competent search feature

[postplus]

Post+ is coming soon

What’s Post+?

Oh, thank you for asking this totally unprompted question! Tumblr’s Post+ is our new tool that allows creators to make some of their posts exclusive to paid supporters and allows people to support their favorite creators. It’s an optional way to support and encourage your favorite creators on Tumblr, and it’s all done in the existing post form with the existing tools you all know and love.

Why Post+?

Creators are the backbone of Tumblr—whether they’re GIF artists, illustrators, comedians, cosplayers, or just really good shitposters. Since our founding, we have always believed in empowering the world’s creators to show off their best work. Post+ now gives these same creators the ability to earn money from their work.

Post+ is optional, right?

Right! Post+ simply gives creators the freedom to pick and choose which posts they want public and which posts they want only their paid supporters to see. Creators who use Post+ have the ability to choose how much of their content is free and public. Post+ is an optional program—the creator has the power to decide if they want to participate or not. The creator also has the ability to choose from a select set of predefined subscription pricing structures for their supporters.

Can I have it?

When Post+ fully launches, it will be available for anyone who wants to use it. Right now it’s still in its beta phase of testing. We want to make sure that everyone’s experience with Post+ is without any hiccups or bugs. We’re working with a very limited number of creators who are testing it out for us. But! If you want to get notified when more beta testing spaces open up, please sign up here.

Anything else?

If you want to stay up-to-date on all things Post+, give @postplus a follow. It’s where we’re posting FAQs and answering your questions. If you want to give feedback, fill out this survey here. Thanks for your patience, Tumblr.

[staff]

The communities that make up Tumblr are built by artists, writers, GIF artists, shitposters, illustrators, and other creators sharing their talents with the world. It’s a place where the world’s creators can put their best work in front of an incredible audience. The tools that we built are built for creators and artists to do just that. Over the years we’ve watched countless careers born here, books launched, talents discovered. Tumblr connects people to their audiences and allows them to pursue their work in a greater capacity. We want that to be achievable for everyone on our platform.

Post+ is a move toward this goal—making sure creators who dedicate their time and effort to producing content have the choice to be paid for some of what they do, if they decide it makes sense for them.

Right now, we’ve got our beta testers and a world of feedback to incorporate, which is exactly how things get made and get better.

We do, however, want to address the main concerns we are hearing:

Fanfiction & Copyright Infringement

Basically, the process works the same as it always has. And yes, the following information is coming to you straight from a lawyer:

We fully support Creators sharing their fanfiction and fanart on Tumblr. We encourage sharing creative work of all kinds on the platform.

Fanfiction and fanart are frequently considered fair use and we support our Creators’ fair use rights. Monetizing fan work does not necessarily mean that it isn’t fair use.

Any content posted on Tumblr, both free and monetized, should follow our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which prohibits infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Whether a piece of fanfiction meets the requirements for fair use varies depending on the work. Intellectual property rights holders are in the best position to decide if they think a fanfiction or fan art violates their rights. If they do, they can use the normal Tumblr DMCA process to identify content for removal. Creators can also take advantage of the normal counter-notification process if they believe the content was misidentified as infringing.

Using the block feature and Post+

Post+ creators will be able to block subscribers in the final Post+ product launching later this fall, and resulting from our beta feedback. At the moment, testers of the Post+ beta will need help from Tumblr Support in order to block a blog that has become a paying supporter.

We will continue to answer questions over the next few weeks over on @postplus

As always, our priority is the people who make up this weird blue universe, and we’ll keep working to make sure we’re serving you as well as we can.

Ok, I am going to highligh a few things for people who might not parse legalese as a hobby (I read EULAs for fun, yes I am a weirdo).

Fanfiction and fanart are frequently considered fair use and we support our Creators’ fair use rights. Monetizing fan work does not necessarily mean that it isn’t fair use.

Any content posted on Tumblr, both free and monetized, should follow our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which prohibits infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Whether a piece of fanfiction meets the requirements for fair use varies depending on the work. Intellectual property rights holders are in the best position to decide if they think a fanfiction or fan art violates their rights. If they do, they can use the normal Tumblr DMCA process to identify content for removal. Creators can also take advantage of the normal counter-notification process if they believe the content was misidentified as infringing.

OK so those two bits in bold? What they mean is : - Tumblr is encouraging you to use this service and put FanFiction under their shiny paywall and they will take their cut of the money (5%). Apple and/or Google will take their cut from the app (30%). You as the creator will now have made money from this IP with the scraps left over [side-note : this is a badly structured deal for the content creator].

- In some IPs FanFic probably will fly under the rader/not be worth smacking. Anything that doesn’t have a novelisation market where it could be argued that Fic is “stealing” profit from the real market, as an example. 

- In some IPs there will be immediate smackdowns (because the source *are* books, because they *sells* tie-in novels, etc.)

- In the IPs where there will be smackdowns Tumblr is washing their hands completly off the whole thing (but keep their cut of the money). They will point at the content creator and go “oh dear, I didn’t know this bad bad person was making money off your IP. That is totally against the rules and I have no idea how it got here.” In the best case scénario Tumblr will then take down the post(s) as a DMCA strike. They might take the whole blog/account down. IN absolutely zero cases will they offer legal support should the IP Holder sue the poster directly, on top of the DMCA takedown. They will be fully hands-off and the poster will be fed to the wolves. 

@staff​ also hasn’t covered gifs (actual frames from actual cinematic productions), Fanart (visual and recognisable copyrighted characters) and a slew other styles of fan content…. 

[festiveferret]

That does not necessarily mean is so fucking loaded. There’s fan content you could totally monetize, like meta posts, comic reading guides, or content reviews. It can even be fair use AND monetizable to use direct quotes or short movie clips or screenshots in a review or meta post. Sometimes part of the evaluation for legality is whether money is being made (as hermit said above, direct competition is often part of that). But there’s an entire organization (the OTW) with a team of lawyers who spend their time working on what is and isn’t legal in fanworks, where fair use draws the lines, and what the best ways of protecting it is (and AO3 has decided full stop that they’re not wading into the monetization battle and connecting money and fanworks is against AO3′s TOS entirely so they don’t have to). And for a lot of it, there’s no legal precedent. It’s fucking complicated. We are the ones testing the waters, starting Patreons and waiting to see how IP holders are going to react, and going to court to set precedent. It feels like fic has been around long enough that this should be all decided already, but it’s not. We’re in a legal grey area during a time of immense digital rights and data development and change. None of this is set in stone and therefore it’s almost impossible for a layperson to completely understand; lots of lawyers aren’t even clear on it!

It’s blatantly irresponsible for tumblr to be very specifically advertising this feature to fan creators. They fully are acknowledging in this post that they don’t know if it will be legal for you or not and that if it’s not, they won’t stand in the way of the IP holder going after you. Is a lot of the stuff on Patreon risky and potentially sue-able? Yeah, but Patreon doesn’t make it sound like “it’s okay, we know you’re making legally unclear fancontent and we support you!” in the way tumblr does. Patreon is just a platform for all kinds of creators, and like with YT, it’s up to you to figure out what you can and can’t monetize for yourself. Because the truth is, no platform can figure that out for you. Tumblr def can’t. Which they’re straight up saying in this post, but making it sound like they’re saying “it’s all good, babe!”

(Consider also: stolen posts behind paywalls is going to be rampant and the only way to get them taken down will be DMCA requests from the og creator. This is already a huge issue for artists and writers on platforms like instagram and Wattpad. I file DMCA takedowns all the time and so do my artist friends. But on those platforms YOU CAN SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE STEALING. On Posts+ you won’t be able to! People can be reposting your art, making money off it, and the only way you’ll be able to find out so you can order it taken down will be to pay them money… I imagine this happens a lot on Patreon, but at least there they need to be funneling in fans from an outside, visible source like insta. On tumblr, a busy repost blog can now, every time an artist goes after them, make the posts from that artist pay-only and still keep pulling in followers with art they haven’t been caught for yet without ever needing to change platforms. Just click the Post+ button!)

If tumblr needs income to survive, they’d be better off with an LJ, reddit, or discord approach than trying to backfill Patreon into a site that is already so established in a certain way, and is primarily used for legally uncertain fancontent (and doesn’t allow NSFW which is probably at least half or more of the kind of content people are willing to pay for lol). 

I’m worried for young/inexperienced/non-english-speaking/non-legalese-speaking creators who see tumblr’s advertising approach and think that means they’re definitely safe to use this feature.

idk how familiar you are with Soviet military detection equipment, but on the DP-5V (the fuck-ugly green ones from the 80s) the Sr-90 check source is mounted essentially on the probe. it's not accessible without disassembling the probe and you use it by twisting around the beta shield to a certain position so the source is over the window. due to this ridiculous design feature, would the check source eventually compromise the functionality of the GM tubes? (they're SBM-20 tubes)

I took a look at the design of the check source and its orientation in relation to the GM tube. It looks like the Sr-90 source is a sort of 'go/no-go' check source. It's encased in resin and, making a lot of assumptions since I only have photos to go by, I would guess that the resin would sufficiently attenuate beta particles such that they wouldn't "bounce off" of the steel and convert to gamma radiation, thereby not passing through the steel and meeting the tube.

Compromise? I would say not. It's a good idea to calibrate instruments intended for demonstration use only, and if intended for measuring any kind of radiation seriously, as in matters of health & safety, they must be calibrated. Using modern equipment with more reliable calibration systems is recommended in that case. Are you having problems with the device?

I know a couple of my followers work with radiacs, I would be interested to hear what they think about it if they want to comment.
